Red bell peppers taste good, add color to dishes, and best of all, they're good for many of us. They're so easy to toss into dishes when they're on hand, but many of us don't regularly stock our vegetable pantries with them, so we find ourselves going back and forth to the store for them. Using this recipe to preserve fresh peppers will help you with this problem.

It's much like a meatless meatball and can be enjoyed either alone, with other Mediterranean side dishes, or else in a sandwich.
